Somewhere along the way, I've noticed that the clothing in my game has become more fuzzy.  For example, a Sim who was wearing a green flowered dress now just has a green dress (with hints of maybe possibly there were flowers at one time).  I've noticed this on both Maxis and custom clothing; the video settings are maxed, and my video card hasn't changed since the last time I played.

Any thoughts?  I _do_ plan to update my video card in the near future, but "near" is more like "several months" than "this weekend."

Okay, to start off, my husband rebuilt my computer, and it switched the letter of the cd drives.  It was only a week until Seasons came out, so we didn't worry about it.  Backed up the files, and waited.

We figured we'd try installing Seasons, see if that worked out the drive issue.  It didn't, so, we did a full uninstall (even checking the registry), updated drivers, and then started reinstalling.  After getting the base game installed, my husband decided to test it, see if it would load.  Nothing.

What we're getting is the disk error.  We have the correct disk in the correct drive, and when we try to start the game, it tells us to put the disk in the drive and try again.  :-P

I remember having this issue before, but I think all I had to do was update a driver (one that seemed completely unrelated to the cd drive), and we've already updated them.  Any suggestions before I break down and e-mail EA for help?
